Sports, Twitter, and Relationships

In Sports, the website Twitter has allowed the professional athlete to interact with their most devoted fans.  On the Post Game`s blog, http://www.thepostgame.com/, there has been a very interesting article about this topic. 

Here is a snippet from this post,

January 31 9:29 am: Tweet from @AntonioBrown84: Indianapolis #steelernation talk to meJanuary 31 9:39 am: Tweet from @sdpaladin: @AntonioBrown84 I live in Indy! Let's get lunch! How's 12:30? It started just like that.

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown had arrived in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl with some time on his hands. So he told his fans where he was. Seth Paladin, a die-hard Steelers fan, had planned his normal Tuesday. He was about to start his day as a sales representative for home security company ADT. But the fan in him decided to be bold, as he quickly scanned his Twitter timeline before going out. Not expecting much, he tweeted at the Steelers Pro Bowler, with 85,000 followers. He wanted to see him in person.



"When I first tweeted at him, I thought there was a very slim chance that he'd see it," Paladin said. "When he replied, I thought to myself, 'This is crazy.'"

What happened next is the most amazing story of athlete-fan interaction in the short history of social media.
That's a pretty high bar, by the way."
